New Zealand: Christchurch mosque attacker pleads guilty

He admitted murdering 51 people at two Christchurch mosques on March 15 previous year, and also pleaded guilty to 40 charges of attempted murder and one charge of engaging in a terrorist act.

Instead, Tarrant appeared in court via video link on Thursday local time and told the judge he would change his plea from not guilty to guilty of 51 counts of murder, 40 counts of attempted murder and one count of terrorism.

Fifty-one people died in the Christchurch mass shootings on March 15, 2019, the darkest day on New Zealand's history.

He has now admitted carrying out the attacks in a High Court hearing in Christchurch on Thursday morning. New Zealand Police say Tarrant will not be sentenced until it is possible for all victims who wish to attend the hearing to do so - something that may be delayed by the current pandemic. The killer will remain in custody until 1 May 2020, at which time a sentencing date will be set or there will be continued detainment.

An Immigration New Zealand spokeswoman said the department was unable to comment specifically on this case and on whether Tarrant could be deported to Australia prior to the sentencing hearing.
